Growth Mindset (Video Text)

 

The Four Steps

I have been reading about the Growth Mindset in Carol Dweck’s book, Mindset,  and it has inspired me to push harder to stifle my fixed mindset and nurture my growth mindset in my personal and professional life.  I am fortunate that the school district in which I am teaching has already started to expose teachers to the Growth Mindset idea, so I have a little background experience with using the Growth Mindset in my classroom.  

The idea is that there are two mindsets.  The fixed mindset is the voice that makes us want to stay where we are; to not take risks, and tells us that we really can’t change our trajectory in life.  The growth mindset is what spurs us to try new things, and to move beyond our comfort zone, even if we make some mistakes, because that’s necessary for growth.
